英汉幽默故事选读【64】
It's a Puzzlement
I asked a colleague of mine how he liked the shirt his daughter had given him as a gift. "The color and the design are nice," he said. "But the sleeves are three inches too long."
I suggested that perhaps it was made for a much taller man. "I don't think so," he said. "If I stand on my toes, it still fits the same."
Notes:
（1） puzzlement n.困惑；苦恩
（2） colleague n.同事
Exercises:
根据短文判断下列句子正（T）、（F）：
① The daughter gave the father a coat as a gift.
② The father thought that the color was nice, but he did not like the design
③ The sleeves were two inches long.
④ The shirt was made for a much taller man
⑤ The father liked the shirt very much.
难解的问题
我问我的同事是否喜欢他女儿送他的衬衣。“颜色和款式嘛是无可挑剔，”他说，“就是袖子长了三英寸。”
我对他说或许衬衣是为个头更高的人做的。“我想不是吧，”他说，“我踮起脚尖，它还是一样长。”
练习参考答案：
①F②F③F④T⑤F
